Happy International Cheetah Day! 

Did you know that the black tear stripes on a cheetah’s face, which run from its eyes to its mouth, function like a rifle scope? These stripes help protect their eyes from the sun’s glare, allowing cheetahs to focus on their prey from a long distance. Isn’t nature amazing?
